Solids! Well, rice cereal mixed with a healthy amount of breastmilk. Scotty did a great job and ate literally every little morsel on his (turtle-decorated) plate. I was worried we might have swallowing issues or just general fussiness, but the Bear took to the high chair and to the task of eating like well, a duck to water. Such a big boy!

Here's more Bear at Lunch pictures:

Messy Bear

Num Num Bear

We were having so much fun hitting these major moments in a baby's life that we decided to take things one step further and try out our stroller...facing forward. Literally, a whole new world opened to Scott.

Brave New World Bear

And finally, since Scotty now has the ability to sit in a chair, eat mushy food spooned gently into his mouth, and sit in a forward-facing stroller, we decided it was time for him to get a job.

So he did.

Big Chair Bear

(ha ha, just joking. In reality, we had to make a trip to see Dad at the Pig Farm to get some papers signed. Scotty had a great time meeting all of the secretaries, attorneys, and staff.)

(Why do we call it the Pig Farm? Because Dad is the pig farmer...he brings home the bacon!)
